Emotionally Uncomfortable

"Are you born to be a writer? Were you put on earth to be a painter, a scientist, an apostle of peace? … Do it or don't do it. It may help you to think of it this way. If you were meant to cure cancer or write a symphony… and you don't do it, you not only hurt yourself, even destroy yourself, you hurt your children. You hurt me. You hurt the planet… Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention… It's a gift to the world and every being in it. Don't cheat us of your contribution. GIVE US WHAT YOU GOT." -Steven Pressfield Today's podcast was inspired to Blog Post Written by Kristin Hackman www.justbreathemama.com NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF MASTERY www.momisincontrol.com * BONUS: One Day Mastermind when you submit your application before January 31st at midnight EST

"One day I looked at something in myself that I had been avoiding because it was too painful. Yet once I did, I had an unexpected surprise.

"A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biological, cognitively, physically and spiritually wired to love, be loved and to belong.

The Invitation By Oriah Mountain Dreamer It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, And if you dare to dream of meeting Your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool For love, for your dream, For the adventure of being alive. It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, If you have been opened by life's betrayals, Or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, Mine or your own, Without moving To hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, Mine or your own, If you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes Without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself, If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. I want to know if you can be faithless and therefore be trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty Even when it is not pretty every day, And if you can source your own life From its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, Yours and mine, And still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes!" It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, Weary and bruised to the bone, And do what needs to be done for the children. It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand In the center of the fire with me And not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you From the inside When all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone With yourself, And if you truly like the company you keep In the empty moments.
